EcgMove 3 – ECG and Activity Sensor
The EcgMove 3 is a psycho physiologic ambulatory measurement system for the assessment of ECG and physical activity. The sensor is equipped with a Bluetooth Smart interface and offers the possibility to perform a live analysis of data on the sensor. It is designed and optimized for research applications and for interactive ambulatory assessment.
The sensor acquires raw data of a single channel ECG, 3D acceleration, barometric air pressure and temperature for up to 2 weeks.
From this data secondary parameters like heart rate, heart rate variability, steps, activity classes, energy expenditure and additional reports (pdf) can be calculated with the movisens DataAnalyzer software.
The sensor can be worn with a dry electrode chest strap available in sizes S, M, L and XL, as well as with adhesive electrodes.
